Hey Rick, I heard your snide comments about John McCain but McCain is a hero and you look like a child could kick your ass, you ugly nerd. David

To which I responded that I agree McCain's a hero but that he also changes his economic views every day based on who his audience is; that a child may well be able to "kick my ass"; and that, yes, of course I'm a nerd and I'm proud of it.

My wife, on the other hand, said: "I'll kick his ass. I'll hunt him down and find him. What an asshole!"
